Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.

At a 2 to 3 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. For a typical front bed run the numbers at 2 inches first, since rock installed too deep just adds cost without adding coverage. Measure your bed in square feet, divide by 162, and round up to the nearest half yard.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

Landscape fabric goes down first if you want this rock to last a decade without weeds pushing through it. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it from migrating into the lawn or gravel walkways nearby. Some Lumberton customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, using rock only where nothing is meant to grow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Lumberton's sandy loam, skipping fabric means rock slowly sinks into the soil over a season or two and weeds root straight through from below. Pin the fabric down every few feet so it does not shift when the rock goes on top, especially on any bed with even a slight slope toward a downspout.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is piling rock against tree trunks or shrub bases. It holds heat and moisture against bark in a way mulch does not, and in zone 8b's long warm season that can stress plants that want their root flare exposed. Keep rock pulled back several inches from any trunk and reserve it for beds where nothing woody is planted.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock costs more up front than mulch but you are not buying it again next spring. Pair it with mulch strategically, rock in high traffic or drainage prone spots near the foundation, mulch in beds where you actually want plants to establish and feed the soil. That split gets you the low maintenance win without losing the organic matter your planting beds need.

Decorative Stone in Lumberton

Lumberton's sandy loam drains well, which is exactly why rock beats organic mulch here in the spots that flood after a Lumber River area storm. Rock does not wash out or float the way shredded mulch does when heavy rain moves through. It also holds up through the long, humid growing season without breaking down, so you are not topping it off every year like you would with wood mulch. On slopes and along foundations near downspouts, it stays put and keeps soil from splashing onto siding.

What Landscape Rock Is

Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.

River Rock vs Decomposed Granite

River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.

Depth and Coverage

Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock work in my drainage ditch or low spot near the downspout?

Yes, rock is a good choice there because it will not float or wash out the way mulch can during a heavy rain event. Lumberton's sandy loam already drains fairly well, but rock adds a stable surface that resists erosion in the wettest corners of a yard, particularly near downspouts and low grade areas.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. We recommend rounding up to 2 yards to account for uneven ground and settling, rather than running short mid install.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install landscape rock in Lumberton?

Not really, since rock does not depend on a growing season the way plants or sod do. Many people install between the last frost in April and the first frost in late October simply for comfortable working weather, but the rock itself performs the same whether it goes down in July heat or a mild winter afternoon.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock, and do I need to move it myself?

The load is placed on a hard, accessible surface like a driveway that you point out ahead of time, we do not spread it into beds for you. Plan on wheelbarrowing it from that drop point to the final location, so clear a path and have your fabric and edging ready before delivery day.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is generally the better call right against a foundation, since it resists moisture buildup against siding and does not need replacing every year like mulch does. The tradeoff is that rock traps leaves and does not feed the soil, so if you have foundation plantings that want organic matter, keep mulch closer to the root zone and rock further out.
